I've taken the "shut up and hack" as an answer and started working on testing a potential patch for an atheros problem with Luis.
If you provide me an account and if everyone is OK sending me minimally formatted TODO lists I will gladly be the point of contact and maintain that list. What qualifies as minimally formatted? 1) Each item on a separate line prepended with a *. 2) (OPTIONAL) If you want, order them by importance. I will attempt to clean-up grammar and spelling. Daniel, please contact me off list, if you'd like, with the account information.
